How-to move photos to CD/DVD or other external repositories
 
|
I'd very much like to burn some of my photos to DVD and store them
separately. This would help me to: a) save disk space on my PC b) have an organized library of my photo files in a physical form... (I would like to take along a DVD every now and then when I go to friends) But how do I do this? There is an export command in DigiKam that I can use to export pictures to some SmugMug, remote computer, Gallery, iPod, PicasaWeb, etc... But it doesn't include CD/DVD option. I can of course just burn some pictures on a DVD and just leave them on my PC. But this is not good, since it eats up my disk space. Is there a way for DigiKam to support storing original picutres on a CD/DVD, and just leave a small thumbnail on the database? All help and ideas on how to do this are appreciated.

Configure -> Collections -> Remote support ( or something like that, as I'm translating from the french version).

I can create a collection on removable media... such as USB. I have a CD mounted, so I can even create a collection for that CD. But it doesn't recognize the CD as removable media, but insists that its stored on the locally. And if I then remove the CD (or the USB stick) and restart the DigiKam, it is totally unaware that I have such photo sources... I would need to KNOW what photos I have on my removable media, even if the media is not present. Is this possible with DigiKam...???

You should upgrade to a more recent version. Things have really improved on that matter, from 1.5.0 version if I remember well. Marie-Noëlle -- Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ?

OK, I could do that. But how...? I just yesterday installed this one for the very first time. I used the "command apt-get install digikam", and this is the version that it found for me. Of course, this is the finnish version of the software. I could very well install the english version, too, if I only knew how...:/ Cheers Juhani _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I guess it depens on your LInux distribution, and what it has in its repositories.
With Fedora 14, I have Digikam 1.6.0, and maybe 1.7.0 (I have not searched yet). Marie-Noëlle -- Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ?

Yes, I see. I am using Ubuntu 10.04. But at the end of the day, I don't think this is the final reason for not being able to store my photos on a CD/DVD. Or is it...? www.DigiKam.org changelogs stop to version 1.3.0, and there is no mentioning about CD/DVD problems solved. I wouldn't like to change my Ubuntu to anything else, right now. Especially if I am not sure that it will fix the problem.

This type of media is not designed to store a bunch of files but one (or more if you use multi session) iso file. You have to create a iso file first before you can store the data on CD/DVD. May be Nautilus (or some other file manager) make this transparently, but this does not change the way files are stored. If you want to use removable media like CD your only choice is DVD-RAM which uses a filesystem similar to those on your harddrive. This is no limitation by digikam. If you have stored your photos on a CD/DVD you can no longer change tags into this files. Access to this files is incredibly slow. So I don't think that it is a good idea to use photos on CD/DVD in digikam. The way to go is an external harddisk connected via USB or eSATA or even network. This media can be added with the removable collections.

select the photos
click Export>Remote computer click Select target location I could select my DVD burner but it wouldn't burn the files so you can select some location on your hard drive like your desktop to put them in a folder and then use DVD burning software to burn the DVD. Not real elegant but it works. > From: [hidden email] > To: [hidden email] > Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2011 18:23:40 +0100 > Subject: [Digikam-users] Re: How-to move photos to CD/DVD or other external repositories > > Am Sonntag, 2.
